I have two little Sizzle and Silkie chicks ...10 weeks old now.. and they are getting rather aggressive with my hands, lately.
They are pets and spend a good bit of time inside ..either it's too cool out or too hot... and they are spoiled rotten! I have been hand-feeding them mealies since I got them, to teach them their names and whatever else they can learn... but I think I've created two little monsters!
Whenever they go after me and really nail me, I say "No" firmly and put my hand on their back or over their head, just briefly. Surprisingly, Obe got skin today! He's the more laid back one, usually. Tahti is so aggressive sometimes, I have to pick her up and hold her close to me to get her to stop grabbing my fingers. This helps and they quickly settle down, but is there something else I can do?
What do you do when your pets attack?
